I'm not only one of the best Southpaw's ever, if not the best. I am also one of the best fighters to never win a World Title; Bottom line, I'm a Legend of the fistic game; I never fought as an Amateur. I baptized my fists to defend my street while I was trying to sell newspapers to the guys passing through and somehow, at the age of 15, I ended up in a gym preparing my body and soul to my first professional bout; My mother was against all forms of having her son making a living out of Boxing but when I dropped in her hands the 17.50$ that I won in that 1st fight, she could only ask: "Are you fighting again?...Are you fighting again?" And I did. You know, I was also one of those fighters that really trusted his manager. So you can understand what I mean, after just 8 months with him, I earned already 15.000$. I never signed any sort of contract with my manager. I would shake his hand before entering the ring in every single fight, and then I delivered the win and he delivered the money. Simple; My career lasted around a decade and a half and in that period of time I went 8-4-1 against Champions of the World, beating 4 of them; I also went 8-4-0 against Hall of Famers and I also beat 4 of them; My favorite punches was a beautiful straight or a gorgeous hook to the body. I really was a master at it; I had four failed attempts to win a World Title but the one that really hurts me, was the one that I started to reply to my legendary opponent with words instead with my fists, and all that when he was pretty much ready to go down for good. He was smart and I wasn't, and thus I ended up loosing the chance to get the crown; Amongst the tough fighters that I faced and beat, there's Barney Adair, Jack Zivic, Jimmy Duffy, Stanley Yoakum and Dick Loadman; After my retirement, I traveled a lot to share my experience with the folks around my country and then I invested in my own restaurant and made it a symbol of my city; I was born exactly a month after the Second Zionist Congress held in Basel, Switzerland. Shalom! Who am I?
Awww c’mon, everybody knows Lew was born a month after the second Zionist whatever in Switzerland. Dead giveaway.
They’re not entirely healthy to our Egos - or what’s left of our eroded Egos. I could say that I’ve forgotten more about boxing than all the details contained in these quiz questions. Period. I’ve forgotten - so I can’t answer ‘em.
